TDE Ottawa Focus

Productivity: Prosperity is linked to national productivity. As AI becomes more prevalent, Canada’s government can use it to maximise the use of human and natural resources while minimising the disruption AI will deliver.

Digital Government: The responsible use of AI & Canada’s vast troves of data can provide the insights and efficiency a modern government, in a growing country needs

Climate Change: How AI, Sensors and data are becoming the essential tools to meet Canada’s Climate Goals

Policy Insight: As a world leader in AI, Canada has the potential to use these tools and partner with other countries investing in AI/digital innovations to improve the future of government

Protecting Democracy: Used improperly, AI clearly be a negative force used against democratic governments. But there are now strategies and tools to use AI to project the foundations of voting systems and the efficacy of government services, from law enforcement to the health care system.
